Hello and a happy new year to all. This my first post, although I have been religiously following TZ for about a year now. I am continuously amazed, humbled, and excited about the passion for timepieces shown on here by fellow watch nerds. I hope to be an active member of this family for many years to come.

Now that I have short introduction out of the way, let's get into my first ever JLC pick-up. I have been admiring this limited edition piece from afar ever since it was introduced earlier this year. Yesterday (on the last day of 2012), I was lucky enough to pick it up from the JLC boutique in Beverly Hills. You all know the watch, so I'm not going to attempt to review the piece...just suffice it to say that it is extremely powerful in its understated elegance. Without further ado, I give you my last minute arrival of 2012.
